i have a built 74 302 and i have misplaced some of the water pump bolts i need to know what size bolts i need to go buy ive looked all over google and no one has the sizes so if anyone happens to know the standard size of a 1974 ford 302 water pump it would be extremely helpful. thanks

Chris.........best advice is to look at the bolts you have. Most are 5/16x18 thread. So knowing what size thread you need, it's only a matter of going your local hardware store and getting the right length and size.

This SHOULD be in the basics forum. You mentioned misplacing some of the bolts, not all of them, since they use several lengths...which ones??? It would be easy to go to a wrecking yard and pull the ones you need. That's as helpful as it can be with the parameters of the question.

If your trying to figure the length you need, cut a piece of straight wire off of a coat hanger. Hold the water pump in place with a couple of bolts, stick the wire in the hole until it bottoms out. Measure. Buy bolts a smidge shorter.
